Robbie,Jennie,Willie, and Kylie played a number game. Jennie picked a number but did not tell her friends. Robbie and Willie both picked a number as well, and Jennie described their numbers like this to Kylie.
Robbie picked a number that is nine more than you’re times Jennie’s number
Willie picked a number that is two less than three times Robbie’s number.
Deciding to call her number,n, Jennie asked Kylie to write an expression that describes Willie’s number.
Kylie came up with two expressions that equal Willie’s number
Her first expression was _ (_ n+_)-2 simplifying her first expression her second expression was 12n+_
Directions:type the correct answer in each box, use numeral instead of words. If necessary use / for the fraction bar(s)
To find Willie's number, we need to substitute the value of Robbie's number into Kylie's first expression: _(n + _) - 2. Since Robbie's number is "(nine more than you're times Jennie's number)," we can replace the "_" with "9 + n".
Therefore, Kylie's first expression becomes: (n + (9 + n)) - 2. Simplifying this expression yields 2n + 7, which represents Willie's number.
Kylie's second expression is given as 12n + _. Without further information, we cannot determine the value of the "_" in this expression.
